Self-Released new debut album by this unique gothic style band
Official CD Rls Date March 25 2008
"BFO's music is filled with shimmering darkness, pierced by Ajda's
often wraithlike vocals, and marked by dynamic tension."-Nick Zaino,
Boston Globe
Black Fortress of Opium is named after a real place in Turkey -
Afyonkarahisar. The town's name means "Black Fortress of Opium". In
this town, there is an ancient fortress perched atop a hill. Much lore
surrounds the history of this place.
Dark and intriguing. Eclectic instrumentation lends to a vibe
reminiscent of Americana and the Middle East simultaneously. The sound
is haunting; the songs speak of life, love, misery, and the human
condition.
The distinctive sound of female vocals, varying from powerful and
soulful to soft and plaintive, combined with American folk instruments
and a heady brew of electric guitars that float, swoop, and soar over
fluid drumming. Music that gets in your blood and won't let go, like
opium itself.
Instrumentation: Ajda the Turkish Queen: vocals, keys, mandolin,
acoustic/classical guitars, tenor banjo, melodica, flute, field
recordings, percussion Tony Savarino: guitars, electric sitar,
theremin, percussion Joel Simches: bass, keys, percussion Joe Turner:
